Énoncés capacitifs et constructions à sujet locatif : quel alignement syntaxe-sémantique ? by Christelle Lacassain, Caroline Marty

“…The alignment between syntactic function and semantic role is not prototypical, as the subject referent is neither an agent nor an experiencer, but denotes, at first sight, a place or a temporal period. Finally, the two types of sentences abstract away from the expression of a concrete situation experienced by a human animate, originally denoted by the verbs concerned.The study addresses the mechanisms at work in both types of constructions. …”

Awareness of glottal settings for the production of /h/-initial and vowel-initial words in French learners of L2 English by Christelle Exare

“…Third, the same learners were asked to produce the same 18 target phrases, using particular glottal settings, 17 of them being imposed. They were finally asked to utter the last phrase (‘poor animal’) with the glottal settings of their choice — either continuous voicing or glottalisation — and then say whether they had realised one or the other. …”

Effect of annealing on the tribological behavior of Zr-based bulk metallic glass by Hsu-Ming Lien, Nicolás Molina, Aisha Lizaola, Michael Chandross, Filippo Mangolini

“…Notably, the formation of a transfer film on the sapphire countersurface is highly dependent on the applied normal load and sliding time. Finally, the wear mechanism was found to be strongly dependent on the annealing temperature as a transition from a predominantly adhesive wear mechanism to an abrasive-dominated one was observed as the annealing temperature crossed the glass transition temperature. …”

Monitoring the impact of global warming on wheat cultivation in the Mughan Plain (Germi) Using the atmospheric circulation model by bromand Salahi, vahid safarian zangir

“…In the present study, to monitor the effect of global warming on precipitation fluctuations, as well as in the production and cultivation of wheat crop in Moghan plain, the LARS-WG model and the HADCM3 climate model output under A1B scenario as well as climate data (minimum temperature, maximum temperature, precipitation and Daily Sunshine) The Germys station was used over a 14 year period (2004-2007).The results of the research show that by comparing the monthly mean of these parameters, this result was obtained that at confidence level 1 there is not a significant difference between the simulation data from the model and observational data in the base period and the mean The climatic parameters of the data obtained from the model and the actual data are similar and there is a high correlation between them. Finally, by comparing observational monthly meanings and modeling of climatic elements of precipitation, minimum and maximum temperatures and sunshine were shown using statistical parameters RMSE, MAE, NA and R2 The model (LARS-WG5) is used to accurately simulate daily data in the parameters of the Mughan Plain, Ardebil province. …”
